Money is almost right, maybe a few fillers needed...we choose from Johnson or Beasley to give us Green's production and we keep Sully and Bradley while getting huge.

Does Phoenix pick up the phone to either? This makes them very thin at center, and probably in need of a lottery visit..But that's the point, they get Lee and Bass on friendly deals which they can use as part of a rebuild and they dump Beasley's deal.

We get HUGE, there are mixed feelings about Jermaine, but he's not the starting C in this scenario, he can come in and do what he was supposed to do, give us rim protection and tough defense when KG is off and relieve Gortat....JO is playing like his late Pacer days with his knees fixed- it's amazing. PER of 18.3 haha.Gortat and JO at center, with KG and Sully at PF.

So we keep Bradley and Sully, whilst gambling that between Johnson and Beasley we can replace Green's bench work.Lose Bass, but get JO and Gortat inside.

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.Read that last line again. One more time.

What, is Beasley on the timeshare plan, so no team has to deal with him more than 50% of the time?

I don't give away what could be the C's two best picks of the decade for another desperate boost out of mediocrity this year--and I don't think Danny does either.

Well we probably have to give up at least one pick to get Gortat.Jermaine and Johnson are both one year deals. We are taking Beasley off their hands but keeping Sully and Bradley.It's nice to think of what those two picks could become but I'm trying to think of ways to get a legitimate center to put next to KG and protect the rim when he's out- Gortat and Jermaine are both good at this.We lose Green and the two picks but get Johnson and Beasley. I know Beasley is a moron but perhaps we can help him slightly? I guess even veterans can't fix stoopid but to get us Gortat, Johnson and JO we aren't giving up that much are we?We also shed Bass and Lee's deals (and many may say thankfully Green's deal too)I'm not even sure how green my glasses are in this, I'm wondering if Phoenix laughs but Jeff Green +that second pick might be the sweetener here.Depends if they want our solid, cheap contracts during a rebuild. They're tightasses and they do like Courtney Lee and Green.

You can't trade firsts in consecutive future years. The second pick would have to be in 2015.

Didn't know this...2015 it will have to be ..thanks

You lost me at bringing Michael Beasley on board. And im a Cousins guy..

With Wes Johnson we may not need him, and I doubt Beasley's presence in that locker room would have much influence when you think who's in there with him. It's the gamble you have to take.Put it this way, we get Gortat (great) we lose Lee, Bass and Green's long term deals (great) and take on Beasley's.(not so great)Helps us rebuild quicker and gives Beasley a real veteran locker room. We could make him a decent sixth man.

Take Beasley out of it and think of Gortat, Johnson and JO as part of the major rotation in the playoffs.

Would love Gortat. He is the cheapest real quality big out there. However,....

Sarver is one cheap owner and likes picks (which he sometimes sells, see Rajon Rondo) rookie contracts and expirings. He will not want to be saddled with three longterm contracts in Green, Lee and/or Bass, if any of them.

Personally, knowing what we do of Sarver, to get both Beasley and Gortat (and I think that we would have to swallow Beasley to get Gortat, and I would be fine with this)we have to get a 3rd team involved to get Phoenix some expirings to go with one or two of our younguns as well as a pick or two (maybe one first and a second).
